A Masterpiece!

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

it could be defined in different ways. as historical movie, as example of romanticism in hard - idyllic period, as adventure of a kind of self made man, as return to the books of teenager age. in fact, it is more than a correct/good film about a character who becomes useful guide in the essence of Medieval life. because, without be a lesson, it is a precise - delicate pledge for values and gestures and responsibility. and this does it seductive. because it gives an universal story. because it is an admirable work. not only for the fans of genre. but for remind. what is real significant in each life.

This is one of the best series ever. It shows the back story of a man of pride, it portrays the crossroads and northern Europe in the high middle ages. This series is so much more than the American action series with special effects and action scenes. This is a complex experience of feelings such as pride, honor and love, and it captures the dilemmas and problems in these times. It shows the audience different sides of religion and the crossroads, it shows that the normal generalizing of the templars isn't always right, and some can fight a good heart, just like Arn. The innocence but still integrity and honor. I recommend this series, and the crusades trilogy by Jan Guillo, to everyone who enjoys series or films, that makes you think, and makes you feel. You will love this.

the first good point - atmosphere, recreated with subtle art. the second - performance of actors far from cage of mannerism. more important - the management of each scene. love story, historical fragments, moral lessons and the game with basic values of life is not easy job. but, in this case, the solutions was smart and interesting. because it is more than story of an hero in dark times. it is more than tale about fight and history in "ad usum delphini"clothes a map of existence , sacrifice and questions in a period who may be the present. only skin is different. the great virtue is science to present a credible face of Crusaides in middle of historical adaptation fever. and result is not bad.

Arn is a two-hour movie that could be summed up as "terrible things happen to Arn and Cecillia for no apparent reason, then he dies and she mourns."The hero and heroine do everything right almost to the point of being saccharine; he is the devoted Knight, she the pining lost love. Both are dedicated, strong, heroic characters - and both suffer terribly despite their heroic qualities.Perhaps this is how life often is; but by choosing to glorify it, the author spits in the face of his audience. Two hours of thinking "well, you know, eventually their strength of character will be rewarded" only to find out I was wrong.According to Rand, art "is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value-judgments". I wonder what sort of artist enjoys torturing his characters for no apparent reason? Apparently the sort of artist who enjoys torturing his customers as well.
